Brown was hired from the Jacksonville Jaguars front office, where his responsibilities included contract negotiation, employment matters, insurance and risk management, intellectual property and licensing issues and litigation management according to the team’s website.

This move led to immediate speculation about the job security of Paul DePodesta, the chief strategy officer who previously had worked in baseball, and head coach Hue Jackson.

While confirming reports Brown had been fired, team owner Jimmy Haslam said Jackson will remain the team’s coach for 2018.
